I had my information submitted to the insurance company on Monday 6/10 and I called them on Friday and it had already been approved. I'm scheduled to be sleeved on 7/22. Excited and nervous all at the same time. I don't think it's completely soaked in yet that this is really happening!!!

Congrats & Good Luck!

Wow, what type of insurance do youhave? That was fast. I am expecting mine to go fast also.

My preop starts on 7/12....My best friend is also getting sleeved next Monday, she's been on pre-op diet sine Friday. We work together so I'm trying to kind of stick with her now during the day and just eating a salad or sandwhich or something in the evenings. Hopefully it will make it somewhat easier when the 12th gets here! Best of luck to you!!!

I have Anthem BCBS. Couldn't have asked for a better outcome, I've actually started this process two other times with different insurance companies...I have to say this was by far much easier than I anticipated.

YAAYY! Thats my insurance company!! I will have all of my paperwork submitted tomorrow. I see the nutritionist and the psychiatrist tomorrow and that is all I need. Do you mind sharing me what your starting weight and BMI was. Did you have any other comorbidies? What were they? I am praying all goes well.

I also have Anthem BCBS I started out 318 lbs 5'3 and I have severe sleep apnea no other comorbidies besides bad knees and hips. I started my journey in Dec and now weigh 300 . I could have had my surgery in June but had already planned my vacation and my husbands in July . It was honestly much easier then I thought it would be and they are great!

Hi Tana - My starting weight was 277.8 wth a BMI of 47. Luckily I don't have anything else at this point, no high bp, no high cholesterol or anything...very heathy for a fat chick! I'll be praying for you too.....I know all will be just fine! Good luck to you!!!

That is so nice to have someone to do this with. I start my preop on the 10th of July, I am more nervous about that then the actual operation. Good luck to you too!!!

Thanks CMT - it is very nice...not sure I'd be able to do this without her!!! I'm nervous about the whole thing really, she is doing her pre op now and I see how tough it is. The good thing is, for me anyway, is she'll still be on liquid when i have to start my pre-op diet, so I think that will be easier. I feel kind of bad because she's doing pre-op diet now and i'm still eating chewable food (watching what I eat and trying to break some old habits).

Good luck to you and keep in touch!
